GRAT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,063, dated March l1, 1884'.

Appimnnon'nla August se, 1ers. (Nomad.)

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grates; and I do declare the follow ing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art toivhich it 'appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or gures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a plan view of my improved grate. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the grate.

This invention has relation to tire-grates for stoves and fire-places; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim appended,

Referring by letter to the accompanyingA drawings, o designates a removable sliding regrate for stoves or fire-places, which rests and slides upon ledges b b on the side of the 1 stove or chimney, as the case may be. c indicates the 4grate-bars oi' the grate a, and d the grateirame. This sliding grate u is provided ing pivoted on a cross-bar, g, of the sliding frame h, and provided with a lug or handpieee, by which the grate may be shaken.

A grate of this construction maybe quickly removed for clearing it of @linker and the like, and may be partly or Wholly,T replaced when burned out, is easily operated, and not likelj,7 to get out of order.

The bottom grate, a, matr be removed, carrying with it the sliding revolving grate or grates; or the revolving grates maybe removed independently of the bottom grate.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a stove with a ledge to support a sliding grate, and that rotary sliding grates have been used.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure b v Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the supportingledges b, of the sliding removable grate a, provided With the central rectangular opening, e, and ledges i i, the central rectangular sliding frame h, having the cross-bar g, and the rotary grate f, pivoted to the said cross-bar, all adapted to operate in connection with astove or re-place, substantially as specified.

In testimon; whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES G. SISIITH.
